Agents acting at cholecystokinin receptors

ABSTRACT

The invention concerns a series of novel bis-urea derivatives, nonpeptides, which show good binding affinity for the CCK-B receptor. The compounds, compositions containing them, methods of preparation, and utilities including anxiety, gastric acid secretion inhibition, and psychoses are included.

This is a continuation-in-part application of U.S. Ser. No. 07/947,234, filed Sep. 18, 1992, now abandoned.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Agents acting at central cholecystokinin (CCK) receptors may induce satiety (Schick, Yaksh, Go, Regulatory Peptides 1986;14:277-91). They are also expected to act as analgesics (Hill, Hughes, Pittaway, Neuropharmacology 1987;26:289-300), and as anticonvulsants (MacVicar, Kerrin, Davison, Brain Research 1987;406:130-5).

Reduced levels of CCK-peptides have been found in the brains of schizophrenic patients compared with controls (Roberts, Ferrier, Lee, et al., Brain Research 1983;288:199-211). It has been proposed that changes in the activity of CCK neurones projecting to the nucleus accumbens may play a role in schizophrenic processes by influencing dopaminergic function (Totterdell, Smith, Neuroscience 1986;19:181-92). This is consistent with numerous reports that CCK peptides modulate dopaminergic function in the basal ganglia and particularly the nucleus accumbens (Weiss, Tanzer, Ettenberg, Pharmacology, Biochemistry and Behaviour 1988;30:309-17; Schneider, Allpert, Iversen, Peptides 1983;4:749-53). It may therefore be expected that agents modifying CCK receptor activity may have therapeutic value in conditions associated with disturbed function of central dopaminergic function such as schizophrenia and Parkinson's disease.

CCK and gastrin peptides share a common carboxy terminal pentapeptide sequence and CCK peptides can bind to the gastrin receptor of the stomach mucosa and elicit acid secretion in many species including human (Konturek, Gastrointestinal Hormones 1980;23:529-64, ed. G. B. J. Glass, Raven Press, N.Y.). Antagonists of the CCK-B receptor would also be expected to be antagonists at the stomach gastrin receptor and this would also be of value for conditions involving excessive acid secretion.

CCK and gastrin peptides have trophic effects on the pancreas and various tissues of the gastrointestinal tract (Johnson, ibid., pp 507-527), actions which are associated with increased DNA and RNA synthesis. Moreover, gastrin secreting cells are associated with certain gastrointestinal tumors as in the Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (Stadil, ibid., pp 279-739), and some colorectal tumors may also be gastrin/CCK dependent (Singh, Walker, Townsend, Thompson, Cancer Research 1986;46:1612, and Smith J. P., Gastroenterology 1988;95:1541). Antagonists of CCK/gastrin receptors could therefore be of therapeutic value as antitumor agents.

The CCK peptides are widely distributed in various organs of the body including the gastrointestinal tract, endocrine glands, and the nerves of the peripheral and central nervous systems. Various biologically active forms have been identified including a 33-amino acid hormone and various carboxyl-terminus fragments of this peptide (e.g., the octapeptide CCK26-33 and the tetrapeptide CCK30-33). (Dockray G. J., Br Med Bull 1982;38(3):253-8).

The various CCK peptides are thought to be involved in the control of smooth muscle contractility, exocrine and endocrine gland secretion, sensory nerve transmission, and numerous brain functions. Administration of the native peptides cause gall bladder contraction, amylase secretion, excitation of central neurons, inhibition of feeding, anticonvulsive actions, and other behavioral effects. ("Cholecystokinin: Isolation, Structure, and Functions," G. B. J. Glass, Ed., Raven Press, New York, 1980;169-221; Morley J. E., Life Sciences 1980;27:355-68; "Cholecystokinin in the Nervous System," de Belleroche J., Dockray G. J., Ed., Ellis Horwood, Chichester, England, 1984;110-27.)

The high concentrations of CCK peptides in many brain areas also indicate major brain functions for these peptides (Dockray G. J., Br Med Bull 1982;38(3):253-8). The most abundant form of brain CCK found is CCK26-33, although small quantities of CCK30-33 exist (Rehfeld, Gotterman, J Neurochem 1979;32:1339-41). The role of central nervous system CCK is not known with certainty but it has been implicated in the control of feeding (Della-Fera, Baile, Science 1979;206:471-3).

Currently available appetite suppressant drugs either act peripherally, by increasing energy expenditure (such as thyroxine), or in some other manner (such as the biguanides), or act by exerting a central effect on appetite or satiety.

Centrally acting appetite suppressants either potentiate central catecholamine pathways and tend to be stimulants (for example, amphetamine), or influence serotonergic pathways (for example, fenfluramine). Other forms of drug therapy include bulking agents which act by filling the stomach, thereby inducing a "feeling" of satiety.

CCK is known to be present in some cortical interneurones which also contain gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) (Demeulemeester H., et al., J Neuroscience 1988;8:988-1000). Agents that modify GABA action may have utility as anxiolytic or hypnotic agents (Harvey S. C., The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics (7th ed.) 1985;339-71, MacMillan). Thus, agents which modify CCK action may have parallel anxiolytic or hypnotic activities. The role of CCK in anxiety is disclosed in TIPS 1990;11:271-3.

The compounds of the invention include the solvates and hydrates and pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds of Formula I.

The compounds of the present invention can have multiple chiral centers including those designated in the above Formula I by a *, depending on their structures. In addition, centers of asymmetry may exist on substituents Z and Z'. In particular the compounds of the present invention may exist as diastereomers, mixtures of diastereomers, or as the mixed or the individual optical enantiomers. The present invention contemplates all such forms of the compounds. The mixtures of diastereomers are typically obtained as a result of the reactions described more fully below. Individual diastereomers may be separated from mixtures of the diastereomers by conventional techniques such as column chromatography or repetitive recrystallizations. Individual enantiomers may be separated by conventional methods well known in the art such as conversion to a salt with an optically active compound, followed by separation by recrystallization and reconversion to the nonsalt form or by chromotography using an optically active stationary phase.

The terms straight and branched alkyl meant to include carbon chains of from 1 to 6 carbon atoms except where specifically stated to be otherwise. Such terms include but are not limited to methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, sec-butyl, isobutyl, tert-butyl, n-pentyl, and n-hexyl.

The compound wherein W and W' are both phenyl, and M and M' are H, and possess a (R*,R*) stereochemical relationship are commercially available in enantiomerically pure form (Fluka Chemical) or can be prepared in racemic form by the procedure of Corey E. J., et al., J Am Chem Soc 1989;111:5493-5 and Supplementary Material. The racemic (R*,R*) Intermediate II can be resolved into its individual enantiomers by fractional recrystallization of its corresponding bis-tartaric acid salt (Williams O. F., et al., J Am Chem Soc 959;81:4464; and Saigo K., et al., Bull Chem Soc Jpn 986;59:931).

Further, the (R*,S*) stereochemical isomer of the compound of Formula II, wherein W and W' are both phenyl and M and M' are hydrogen, can be prepared by the procedure of Williams O. F., et al., J Am Chem Soc 959;81:4464 or by the procedure of Schonenberger H., et al., J Med Chem 1990;33:2535.

The (R*,R*) and (R*,S*) stereochemical isomers of Formula II, wherein W and W' are substituted phenyl, and M and M' are hydrogens, can be prepared by the method of Schonenberger H., et al., J Med Chem 990;33:2535, from E- and Z- stilbenes, respectively.

The desired compounds of Formula I are prepared by reaction of compounds of Formula II with one molar equivalent of a reactive acylating type agent (e.g., an isocyanate) to give compounds of Formula III, a subset of Formula I ##STR17## where W, W', A', M, M', and Z' are described above. The procedures and purification routines required to give the mono acylated adducts are described fully in the experimental section below.

Compounds of Formula III are then subjected to treatment with a second active acylating agent; as described previously; to give desired compounds of Formula I.

Scheme I below illustrates procedures for preparing intermediates useful in producing products of Formula II. ##STR18##

Scheme II illustrates how compounds of Formula III are produced from the reaction of compounds of Formula II with reactive acyl-type reagents. The reaction conditions used allow for the simple filtration isolation of the mono-adducts or by stopping the reaction at a set point and separating the statistical mixture of unreacted II, desired mono-adducts III, and the bis-adducts by chromatography. ##STR19##

The desired compounds of Formula I are prepared by reacting an appropriate intermediate of Formula III with one molar equivalent of a reactive acylating agent Scheme III. ##STR20##

BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY

The biological activity of compounds of the present invention was evaluated employing an initial screening test which rapidly and accurately measured the binding of the tested compound to known CCK receptor sites. Specific CCK receptors have been shown to exist in the central nervous system. (See Hays, et al., Neuropeptides 1980;1:53-62; and Satuer, et al., Science 1980;208:1155-6.)

In this screening test, the cerebral cortices taken from male CFLP mice weighing between 30-40 g were dissected on ice, weighed, and homogenized in 10 volumes of 50 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 7.4 at 0°-4° C). The resulting suspension was centrifuged, the supernate was discarded, and the pellet was washed by resuspension in Tris-HCl buffer followed by recentrifugation. The final pellet was resuspended in 20 volumes of 10 nM Hepes buffer (pH 7.2 at 23° C.) containing 130 mM NaCl, 4.7 nM KCl, 5 nM MgCl₂, 1 nM EDTA, 5 mg/mL bovine albumin, and bacitracin (0.25 mg/mL).

In saturation studies, cerebral cortical membranes were incubated at 23° C. for 120 minutes in a final volume of 500 μL of Hepes incubation buffer (pH 7.2) together with 0.2-20 nM tritiated-pentagastrin (Amersham International, England).

In the displacement experiments, membranes were incubated with a single concentration (2 nM) of ligand, together with increasing concentrations (10⁻¹¹ to 10⁻¹⁴ M) of competitive test compound. In each case, the nonspecific binding was defined as that persisting in the presence of the unlabeled octapeptide CCK₂₆₋₃₃ (10⁻⁶ M).

Following incubation, radioactivity bound to membranes was separated from that free in solution by rapid filtration through Whatman GF/B filters and washed three times with 4 mL of ice cold Tris-HCl buffer. Filters from samples incubated with tritiated-pentagastrin were placed in polyethylene vials with 4 mL of scintillation cocktail, and the radioactivity was estimated by liquid scintillation spectrometry (efficiency 47%-52%).

The specific binding to CCK receptor sites was defined as the total bound tritiated-pentagastrin minus the amount of tritiated-pentagastrin bound in the presence of 10⁻⁶ octapeptide, CCK₂₆₋₃₃.

Saturation curves for specific tritiated-pentagastrin binding to mouse cortical membranes were analyzed by the methods of Scatchard (Ann New York Acad Sci 1949;51:660-72, and Hill, J Physiol 1910;40:IV-VIII), to provide estimates for the maximum number of binding sites (B_(max)) and the equilibrium dissociation constant (K_(a)).

In displacement experiments, inhibition curves were analyzed by either logit-log plots or the iterative curve fitting computer program ALLFIT (DeLean, Munson, Redbard, 1978) to provide estimates of the IC₅₀ and nH (apparent Hill coefficient) values). (IC₅₀ values were defined as the concentration of test compound required to produce 50% inhibition of specific binding.)

The inhibition constant (K_(i)) of the test compound was then calculated according to the Cheng-Prusoff equation: ##EQU1## where [L] is the concentration of radiolabel and K_(a) is the equilibrium dissociation constant.

The K_(i) values for several representative compounds of the present invention are present in Table I below.

As can be seen in Table I above, the compounds of the instant invention have good binding affinity for the CCK-B receptor and are thus expected to be useful in treating anxiety, gastric acid secretion, appetite problems, gastrointestinal ulcers, psychosis (especially schizophrenia) and the withdrawal response produced by the above treatment or abuse of drugs or alcohol.

For preparing pharmaceutical compositions from the compounds of this invention, inert, pharmaceutically acceptable carriers can be either solid or liquid. Solid form preparations include powders, tablets, dispersible granules, capsules, cachets, and suppositories.

A solid carrier can be one or more substances which may also act as diluents, flavoring agents, solubilizers, lubricants, suspending agents, binders, or tablet disintegrating agents; it can also be an encapsulating material.

In powders, the carrier is a finely divided solid which is in a mixture with the finely divided active component. In tablets, the active component is mixed with the carrier having the necessary binding properties in suitable proportions and compacted in the shape and size desired.

For preparing suppository preparations, a low-melting wax such as a mixture of fatty acid glycerides and cocoa butter is first melted and the active ingredient is dispersed therein by, for example, stirring. The molten homogeneous mixture is then poured into convenient sized molds and allowed to cool and solidify.

The powders and tablets preferably contain 5% to about 70% of the active component. Suitable carriers are magnesium carbonate, magnesium stearate, talc, lactose, sugar, pectin, dextrin, starch, tragacanth, methyl cellulose, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, a low-melting wax, cocoa butter, and the like.

Pharmaceutically acceptable counterions are shown below:

Acetate, benzenesulfonate, benzoate, bicarbonate, bitartrate, bromide, calcium acetate, camsylate, carbonate, chloride, citrate, dihydrochloride, edetate, edisylate, estolate, esylate, fumarate, glucaptate, gluconate, glutamate, glycollylarsanilate, hexylresorcinate, hydrabamine, hydrobromide, hydrochloride, hydrochloride, hydroxynaphthoate, iodide, isethionate, lactate, lactobionate, malate, maleate, mandelate mesylate, methylbromide, methylnitrate, methylsulfate, mucate, napsylate, nitrate, pamoata (embonate), pantothenate, phosphate/diphosphate, polygalacturonate, salicylate, stearate, subacetate, succinate, sulfate, tannata, tartrate, teoclate, triethiodide, benzathine, chloroprocaine, choline, diethanolamine, ethylenediamine, meglumine, procaine, aluminum, calcium, lithium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, and zinc.

A preferred pharmaceutically acceptable salt is the N-methyl glucamine salt or sodium salt.

The term "preparation" is intended to include the formulation of the active component with encapsulating material as a carrier providing a capsule in which the active component (with or without other carriers) is surrounded by a carrier which is thus in association with it. Similarly, cachets are included.

Tablets, powders, cachets, and capsules can be used as solid dosage forms suitable for oral administration.

Liquid form preparations include solutions, suspensions, and emulsions. Sterile water or water-propylene glycol solutions of the active compounds may be mentioned as an example of liquid preparations suitable for parenteral administration. Liquid preparations can also be formulated in solution in aqueous polyethylene glycol solution.

Aqueous solutions for oral administration can be prepared by dissolving the active component in water and adding suitable colorants, flavoring agents, stabilizers, and thickening agents as desired. Aqueous suspensions for oral use can be made by dispersing the finely divided active component in water together with a viscous material such as natural synthetic gums, resins, methyl cellulose, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, and other suspending agents known to the pharmaceutical formulation art.

Preferably the pharmaceutical preparation is in unit dosage form. In such form, the preparation is divided into unit doses containing appropriate quantities of the active component. The unit dosage form can be a packaged preparation, the package containing discrete quantities of the preparation, for example, packeted tablets, capsules, and powders in vials or ampoules. The unit dosage form can also be a capsule, cachet, or tablet itself, or it can be the appropriate number of any of these packaged forms.

The following examples are illustrative of the compounds of the instant invention. They are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
